Celebrating Dalton Under the Arches at Benefit 2024

More than 620 community members enjoyed gathering under the beautiful arched ceiling at Guastavino's — an NYC landmark —  to celebrate Dalton at the school’s annual Benefit 2024.
Thanks to generous underwriting, ticket purchases, and raffle and silent auction proceeds, the Benefit raised $638,000. 

The NYC-themed performances featuring students, alumni, faculty, and staff reflected the evening’s theme “Empire State of Mind: New York as a Classroom.” Enthusiastic applause followed the tap dancing, kickline, and dance from "Newsies." Head of School José M. De Jesús joined Sweet ’n Low, the high school chorus, and faculty members to sing "Empire State of Mind" — and he sang a few songs with the student rock band! Faculty and Staff sang the rollicking classic "New York, New York" from On the Town. On the big screen, a video and slide show highlighted students on field trips taking advantage of New York City's tremendous resources. "Club Dalton" (a.k.a. the dance floor) was hopping until the final moments.

Successful events take hard work and coordination: Thank you to our Benefit Chairs Karen Lee, Holly Speyer Lipton '91, and Arielle Tepper '90; Art Chair Melanie Kefalidis Kantor '99; Video Producer Michael Shulman '00; Artistic Director/Producer Randi Sloan; our new Publicity and Silent Auction/Raffle committees; and Director of Special Events Jessica Torres-Rosa.
